My point was to pick on those who thought we could not compete in 2014. I assume if the right prospects came along, all the Mets not named Wright would be expendable. I for one would like some good free agent short term players to improve the team. If we give up entirely on 2013, what message does that send to the players and fans. Shore up the bull pen in 2013. Get us an outfielder and catcher. Big deal if its a temporary player. Our younger players will improve, probably not all-stars but improve non the less. We need to step forward not back!

I live in New England and have seen both Xander Bogaerts & Jackie Bradley play for The AA Portland Sea Dogs and would take both of them in a heart beat! However the Boston Media has said the Red Sox GM Ben C. has said not a chance that we will get either or both for R.A. Dickey...

Salty has very little value.
From a Mets perspective would you make that trade?

Dickey AND Niese for two unproven prospects?? neither of which are even top 30 MLB prospects?? List I see has Bogaerts at 31 and Bradley at 39.

NO THANKS

If we're gonna trade both only for two prospects outside the top 30, I'd rather trade them both for 1 top 5 or top 3 prospect thats close to MLB ready. And if you did that you can probably still get another 1 or 2 mid to low-level prospects.

Yeah but Ike plays above average defense at first base so I'd rather leave him there and trade for an outfielder. If Ike could move that simply I would say move him and just put Flores at first and problem solved.

dude why would we trade them both? we have niese locked up for 5 years 25 mil, santana will no longer be with us next year, and niese would be the only legit left hander we will have left, only a fool would trade 2 very valuable starters for unproven prospects, prospects are a sham, only a small % of them work out in the bigs, niese is more than proven.

Ok not a big poster here more of a reader but I have a name I would like some info on and why we aren't intrested in this guy. Billy Hamilton, ss from the Reds, not sure is he is touchable but this guy can fly and fills a need at SS. Why not something like R.A. and Flores for this kid? Maybe we would have to throw in another prospect arm but would be well worth it. Like I said maybe he is not avail. but would like to see us try. This kids would be a perfect fit on our team in our stadium, any thoughts?
